This book is a classic of film bibliography that explores theory and criticism through André Bazin's reflections on the cinema of Jean Renoir, a key figure in the Nouvelle Vague. Bazin analyzes the concept of realism and the idea of cinema as an impure art. The work, posthumous and unfinished, was compiled by François Truffaut and is divided into three parts: Bazin's main texts on Renoir, script fragments, and a biofilmography with comments from filmmakers such as Truffaut, Godard, Rivette, and Rohmer. It is an essential monograph for understanding the evolution of film theory from the 1950s to the present.
André Bazin was a renowned and influential French film critic and film theorist. He started to write about movies in 1943 and was a co-founder of the renowned film magazine Cahiers du cinéma in 1951 alongside Jacques Doniol-Valcroze and Joseph-Marie Lo Duca.
